Mission

Enriching the lives of people with special needs using equine-assisted activities and therapies to improve physical, mental, social and emotional well-being.

  • Heroes And HorsesHeroes on Horses is specifically designed to address the needs of veterans and first responders of all abilities in our community. Our vision is to help them achieve both physical and emotional goals and improve their quality of life through the use of equine-assisted activities and therapies. Equine-assisted learning, adaptive riding, and equine-assisted counseling has been successful in helping veterans and first responders show improvements in emotional awareness, stress tolerance, independence, TBI, post-traumatic stress, impulse control and much more.

    Expenses $186,880

  • Equine-Assisted LearningEquine-assisted learning (EAL) is an experiential learning approach that promotes the development of life skills for educational, professional and personal goals through equine-assisted activities. Working with equines provides opportunities to teach critical life skills such as trust, respect, honesty and communication. Various format offerings are available for organizations and school groups. Please contact our office for more information about these opportunities.

    Expenses $164,865

  • Adaptive RidingThroughout the world, there are thousands of individuals with special needs who experience the rewarding benefits of horseback riding. A disability does not have to prevent a person from riding horses. In fact, experiencing the motion of a horse can be very therapeutic, physically, mentally, and emotionally. Because horseback riding rhythmically moves the participants body in a manner similar to a human gait, participants with physical challenges often show improvement in flexibility, balance, and muscle strength. As the participants work on riding skill based goals through different tasks and activities, they can experience emotional benefits, including reduced feelings of depression and anxiety, increased self-esteem, enhanced focus, improved social skills, and a sense of control and connection.

    Expenses $156,046

On a Form 990-EZ the columns are Part IV's instead, and on a Form 990-PF Part VIII's — compensation, contributions to benefit plans, and expense account — and the total sums those.
